The
roommate became suspicious after she noticed the dog—described to
Brevard County police as a "family pet"— showing
obvious fear of the roommate's family members and friends. Suspecting her roommate—22-year-old Joshua Lee Werbicki—was to blame, she set up an in-home surveillance system, which eventually recorded one of Webicki's alleged encounters with the dog.

Werbicki is facing one felony charge of animal cruelty and one misdemeanor charge of sex with
an animal, according to Florida Today. As of Friday, he was being held on $2,500 bail.
